Holy sh!t this is getting out of hand. You "fans" need to relax and realize Parise is a living breathing human being, not a puppet put on this earth to provide you with entertainment and a reason to root for this team. Did he go to one of our rivals? Did he sell out for money? Did he not try hard this year? Did he disrespect Lou or the Devils in any way? No, he did none of these things. He chose to go home and be among his family and friends (yes, including Suter who made it clear he wouldn't come to the east coast). This is something that every person on this earth is entitled to do, and noone can fault him for that. Stop acting like a bunch of spoiled kids who had their lollipop taken away from them and try to look at this situation as an adult.

As an adult, I am not happy Zach left. I understand why he went to minnie, but I am not happy with it. I will boo him, as an adult, and I will heckle him, also as an adult. I will say things children should not say, and I will celebrate, as an adult, his future failures, until he returns to the Devils in 6 years with his tail between his legs, looking to join a Cup winning team and truly complete his lifelong dream.

kay?

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is!Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Yep, because the things I've seen written about Parise on this board, including this thread, screams to me of the type of fans that we all hate in Philly, or that will bail on this team as soon as things get rough. This thread in particular belongs straight on a Philly message board. I'd like to think Devils fans are better than this, but maybe I'm just living in a dream world.

So you realize that he had completely legitimate reasons and you realize that what you're saying is not right, and you'll still do these things? He gave us all he had during the years he was here. Show the guy some respect, or do you not afford that to anyone in your normal adult life?

And by the way, I'm EXTREMELY unhappy Zach left, but I am thankful for all he gave us, and I respect his decision. Nothing is perfect and everything can always be handled better, but to boo him just because you want to throw a hissy fit and show the world you're pissed off is ridiculous.

This should not be even about Parise...I do not want to see some dope pissing, end of story.

Yeah... That's pretty much the issue.

He gave us all he had during the years he was here - and I doubt you'd disagree with that. So show the guy some respect, or do you not do that either in your normal adult life?

Most people hate the Flyers fans cause they come to our arena looking to start fist fights. We dealt with that sh!t season last season and everyone that was posting on here is still here.

Why does Parise deserve our respect? Hell a good amount of this board has spent a lot of money on season tickets, game tickets and merchandise with his name on it during his tenure here. We owe him nothing.

Yup, I see why.Nope, I realize what I am saying IS right.

I respect DEVILS, not minnie wilds (not when they play the Devils anyway)

There will be no hissy fits. They will be adult boos. You should be happy about that. And it will be to show HIM that he failed me, not the world. HE will hear my boos and my heckling and hopefully I'll get in his head and cause him to screw up something and help out OUR JERSEY TEAM in the process.

Holy sh!t people, you do know fan is short for FANATIC don't you!??!!??

No, most people hate Flyers fans because they are a bunch of low class, white trash trolls. What's going on in this thread is exactly reminiscent of that.

You think I don't have a Parise jersey? One that my girlfriend got me for my birthday and spent $400 on? You think he wasn't my favorite player on this team? Why does all that give me a reason to hate on him just because he wants to be with family? He's done nothing that any one of us wouldn't likely do in his situation. He deserves our respect because while he was here he was pretty close to the spitting image of a perfect player, both on and off the ice. So respect what the guy gave us while he was here and while you don't have to like that he's gone, at least give him the courtesy to not piss on his fvcking jersey or boo him when he steps in our building.

Yea, I'm a fanatic all right. I'll boo Gomez for as long as he isn't a Devil. But you need to realize the difference between what Gomez did and what Parise did. Because they are WORLDS apart and this is what I'm trying to get across here.

BECAUSE HE PLAYS FOR THE OTHER TEAM NOW. kay?

lol, ok I didn't realize its impossible to respect other teams or other players. What was I thinking.

because he didn't just want to be with his family! If Detroit would have given him the right amount of money as him and his best friend then they both would have signed there!

He's not a Devil anymore so I will boo him all I want because everything he did in his tenure here doesn't really warrant a standing ovation, especially with the nonsense about how he left.

not a dope head.. straight edge 29 yr old.. it was a bootleg jersey i wouldnt donate it.. call me immature, but i feel someone had to do it. fvck him. hes dead to me. but dont call me names cause i pissed on a bootleg jersey.

Wow, really? You must have been camping out in Arnott's office along with Parise. I wish you would have given us this inside information sooner.

And for the record, if you're gonna make up some bullsh!t like that, at least make it plausible. Detroit was out of the bidding fairly early, despite all reports stating that they made a big push for Parise. Also, Suter said he wants to stay in the midwest area, which Detroit is more or less part of. If Parise really wanted to play in Detroit, I don't think it would have been so hard to convince Suter to play there as well.
